Chen Ao escorted Xu Mao and Xie Ning back to the county office, and he didn't have the heart to interrogate them for a while. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Liang Xiaoya heard that Wei Ji was also involved in it, so she went all the way back to Liang's mansion. This incident really gave Chen Ao a headache.

The reason why Chen Ao didn't want her to know was because of this. This little girl, who can't act with common sense, is really the biggest variable. Who knows what she's going to do now in the Liang Mansion?

Chen Ao let out a long sigh, and when he looked up, he saw Pei Shikong sneakily looking at the door. He snorted coldly, and when he returned to the county office, he had already found that Pei Shikong was not there. Chen Ao immediately thought that this dog slave must have discovered the matter of Laipi Dog, and went to report to his master Liang Sizhi.

In fact, this is exactly the smokescreen set up by Chen Ao, wanting to test Liang Sizhi's attitude towards this matter. Now seeing Pei Shikong returning, Chen Ao also wants to inquire about some situations. So Chen Ao waved his hand and said, "Come in!"

Pei Shikong entered the room with a smile, sat down unceremoniously, and said, "Congratulations, my lord, I have solved another big case!"

Chen Ao said lightly: "Oh, is it already broken? I'm afraid it hasn't been yet?"

What he meant was that Wei Ji had not yet been brought to justice, so how could it be regarded as solving the case? Chen Ao wanted to take this opportunity to test Liang Sizhi's side attack on Wei Ji's affairs, whether he knew or did not know.

Pei Shikong is also a human spirit, how could he not guess what Chen Ao, a rookie in the officialdom, was thinking? He remained silent, remembering the plan arranged by Liang Sizhi when he came, and said with a smile: "Yes, this prisoner has not been interrogated yet, and he has not been signed and detained, so of course he cannot be regarded as solving the case." ”

Chen Ao secretly scolded the old fox and did not speak.

Pei Shikong said again: "My lord, there is a word below, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

Chen Ao snorted and said, "Just talk about it, don't talk about it if you shouldn't." With your mouth on your own face, can I still stop you?"

Pei Shikong was a little embarrassed, and it was really difficult to deal with this leader who sometimes didn't play according to the routine. He sneered and said, "My lord, Xu Mao and Xie Ning are both sons of wealthy merchants in the city. In the following opinion, the case should be elevated to court as soon as possible. Otherwise, if the two families get the news and walk around secretly, I'm afraid it will add a lot of trouble!"

Chen Ao was stunned, he didn't expect Pei Shikong to say this. He thought that people like Pei Shikong would only drag himself back, but how could he have thought that he would really give himself an idea? What Pei Shikong said was indeed a possibility. In this era, it was originally a collusion between officials and businessmen. If the Xu and Xie families go around secretly and bribe the officialdom, they may really cause a lot of trouble for themselves.

Chen Ao nodded and said, "What you said also makes sense. In that case......"

Before he finished speaking, Yang Kui suddenly ran in and exclaimed, "It's not good for adults......

Chen Ao said angrily: "I'm fine!"

Yang Kui shook his head and said, "No...... It's Wei Ji...... Wei Gongzi has come to surrender himself!"

Chen Ao stood up with a "pout". He thought he had heard it wrong, so he asked again, and when he learned that it was indeed Wei Jilai who surrendered, his eyes were about to fall out.

Chen Ao was a little confused for a while, and He Jiangyue, who heard the news, also hurried over. The two looked at each other, and they both saw the confusion in each other's eyes.

originally thought that Wei Ji would try his best to clear the suspicion when he heard the news of Xu Mao Xie Ning's arrest, but who would have thought that he would take the initiative to send it to the door. Chen Ao and He Jiangyue thought of all the tricks in advance, and they suddenly lost their goals.

Chen Ao and He Jiangyue said almost in unison: "Let's go!"

The two hurriedly walked out, not noticing the corners of Pei Shikong's slightly raised mouth behind them. Pei Shikong followed behind, secretly laughing in his heart: Chen Ao, Chen Ao, you stunned young man, if you want to fight with Liang Shaozhu, you are still far away!

Several people came to the lobby, and sure enough, they saw Wei Ji standing proudly in the middle of the lobby. A group of officials caught him quickly, and they didn't dare to do anything to him, and they stood aside one by one, as if they were waiting for Wei Ji's orders.

Chen Ao was angry, seeing Wei Ji's arrogant appearance, and thinking of Wu Ping'er who was lying in the ice coffin in the cellar now, the hatred in his heart became stronger and stronger. He sat on the Taishi chair, patted the shocked wood, and shouted, "Wei Ji, you surrendered?"

Wei Ji stretched out his folding fan, shook it casually, and said with a smile: "My lord, what you said is a little inappropriate. I heard that someone was framing me in the street, so I came to hear what was going on. In the whole of Liangcheng, who doesn't know, I, Wei Ji, am the most law-abiding and good citizen? How could I do something that is inferior to a beast?"

Chen Ao laughed angrily and said coldly: "If you obey the law, then there will be no bad people in this world!"

He Jiangyue, who was standing on the side, felt a beat in his heart, seeing Wei Ji's fearless appearance, if it wasn't for Chen Ao's wrong reasoning, Wei Ji was not a murderer at all, that is, Wei Ji had no fear, and he had already thought of a perfect plan.

Thinking of this, He Jiangyue's heart was clouded, and he looked at Chen Ao, who was still full of anger, and became even more worried. But now in the public court, he is a scribe, and he can only be responsible for recording the words and deeds of everyone in the hall, and he can't give advice to Chen Ao.

He Jiangyue could only secretly pray in his heart, hoping that Chen Ao, a somewhat immature novice, would be able to deal with these villains!

Chen Ao sneered: "Wei Ji, Xu Mao and Xie Ning are already in front of the Red Gate Tower, in front of many people, confessing that it was you who took the two of them to sneak into Wu Ping'er's bedroom in the middle of the night, took him to Lai Pigou's house, raped him, and then strangled him to death. Wei Ji, don't you plead guilty?"

Wei Ji said lightly: "Oh? Lord Chen is so sure, could it be that he already has evidence? Could it be that Lord Chen is ready to interrogate me now?"

Chen Ao slapped the stunned wood and said loudly: "Exactly!"

Pei Shikong was always standing beside Chen Ao, and at this time he suddenly came up and said, "My lord, according to the law, there must be a plaintiff and a defendant in the trial of the case. Now there are only defendants, but they can't be promoted!"

Chen Ao was stunned, he didn't know much about the laws of the Great Song Dynasty. But he also remembered that in this day and age, there was no modern public prosecution service. As a magistrate, he has judicial power, but he can't be both a judge and a plaintiff.

He glanced at He Jiangyue, and saw He Jiangyue nodding at him, knowing that Pei Shikong was right. Chen Ao sighed and said coldly: "Wei Ji, since you don't give up, then I'll find you a plaintiff!"

As he spoke, he said quickly to Yang Kui and the others: "Go and invite Wu Laohan up, and also escort Xu Mao and Xie Ning to the court!"

After a short time, everyone was ushered into the lobby. It was already afternoon, nearly dusk. The sun outside is a little lighter, and many people have begun to go out to prepare for a cool place in the evening. When many people heard that the county government was going to be promoted to hear the case, they all gathered here.

Looking at the dozens of people gathered in front of the wall in the front yard, for some reason, Chen Ao felt a trance in his heart. A faint worry crept into his heart, why did Wei Ji look so fearless? Could it be that he didn't calculate something? Chen Ao fell into deep thought for a while.

Pei Shikong reminded in time: "My lord, everyone has arrived!"

Chen Ao came back to his senses, saw Xu Mao and Xie Ning trembling in the hall, and looked at Wu Laohan, who was a little cowardly, sighed, suppressed the doubts in his heart, and asked: "Wu Laohan, the three people standing in front of you now are the culprits who killed your granddaughter! Do you dare to sue them in court?"
